CONCEPT & IDEAWhen we create patterns we divide patterns into pieces and shape them inorder to achieve the desired fit. The approach to pattern cutting for this MAcollection, in contrast, builds on connecting and shaping pattern pieces withouthaving to cut into the fabric. The technique that enables one to do so, arefolding elements of origami tessellations, called twist and pleat intersections.The named technique is used to fold flat mosaics, but here it is divertedaway from its function by creating the opposite: Three-dimensional shape.By opening up and changing the depth of the pleats the desired fit can becreated, without cutting the fabric into shaped pieces and sewing them backtogether.

MINIMALISM & FUNCTIONALITYSimplicity plays an important role in terms of a folding's aesthetic appeal,Maybe this is why people are drawn to the idea of folding in the first place.Being able to apply folding in pattern cutting and minimize seams at the sametime.

PATTERN CUTTINGAway from the traditional front-side panel-back pattern of a tailored jacket thiscollection shows that there is a lot of room for innovative pattern cutting, withoutcomplicating the pattern. Often existing seams like the side seam and innerseam of trousers are simply moved or divided and new seams are added. Theidea in this case is shaping by taking out fabric, but leaving the pattern piecesin a whole.
